Why Kolokwa Matters
Liberian English is spoken by millions, but AI systems don't understand it. Voice assistants, transcription tools, and translation services all fail when we speak naturally. Kolokwa changes that by building the dataset these systems need.
Record
Read Kolokwa phrases aloud and record your voice. Each recording takes just seconds.
Build
Your recordings become part of an open dataset available to researchers and developers worldwide.
Transform
AI systems learn to understand Kolokwa, enabling voice apps and services for Liberians.
See the Problem
Voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and ChatGPT are trained on American and British English. Here's what happens when a Liberian speaks Kolokwa.
